Appealing Property Taxes for Apartment Owners

Property taxes are one of the largest line item costs incurred by apartment owners. However, many owners do not appeal effectively. Even though owners realize that property taxes can be managed and reduced through an appeal, some view taxes as an arbitrary estimate provided by the government which can't effectively be appealed. It tends to boil down to the old adage, "You can't fight city hall".

Fortunately, the property tax appeal process in Texas provides owners multiple opportunities to appeal. Handled either directly by the owner or by a property tax consultant, this process should involve an intense effort to annually appeal and minimize property taxes. Reducing the largest line item expense has a significant effect in reducing the owner's overall operating expenses. While it is not possible to entirely escape the burden of paying property taxes, it is possible to reduce taxes sharply, often by 25% to 50%.

Why some owners don't appeal

Some property owners don't appeal because they either don't understand the process, or don't understand that there is a good probability of achieving meaningful reductions in property taxes. Some owners believe that since the market value of their property exceeds the assessed value, then it is not possible to appeal and reduce the property taxes. Although appeals on unequal appraisal are relatively new, there is a clear-cut way to appeal property taxes at the administrative hearing level based on unequal appraisal. Unequal appraisal occurs when property is assessed inconsistently with neighboring properties or comparable properties. Also, some owners are reluctant to hire a property tax consultant, even though many consultants will work on a contingent fee basis, in which there is no cost to the owner unless property taxes for the current year are reduced.

Overview of appeal process

The following are the primary steps in the annual process for appealing property taxes:

· Request notice of accessed value
· File an appeal
· Prepare for hearing
. Review records
. Review market value appeal
. Review unequal appraisal appeal
· Set negotiating perimeters
· Administrative hearings
· Decide whether binding arbitration or judicial appeals are warranted
· Pay taxes timely

Requesting a notice of assessed value

Property owners have the option of requesting a notice of assessed value for their property annually. Section 25.19g of the Texas Property Tax Code provides the owner the option to request a written notice of the assessed value from the chief appraiser. Owners benefit from requesting and receiving a written notice of assessed value for each property because it ensures they have an opportunity to review the assessed value. This notice should be sent on an annual basis. The appraisal district does not have to send a notice of assessed value if the value increases by less than $1,000. However, if an owner was not satisfied with a prior year's value and the value remained the same, the appraisal district probably will not send a notice of the assessed value for the current year. In this situation, the owner might forget to protest since a notice of assessed value for the property was not received.

How to file and appeal

On or before May 31st of each year, the property owner should file an appeal for each property. However, while many owners are comfortable with an assessed value, in many cases there is a basis for appealing. Two options for appealing include:

1. unequal appraisal, and
2. market value based on data the appraisal district provides to the owner before the hearing.

You can appeal by completing the protest form provided by the appraisal district and indicating both excessive value (market value) and unequal appraisal as the basis for appeal. In addition, the property owner can simply send a notice that identifies the property, and indicates dissatisfaction with some determination of the appraisal office. The notice does not need to be on an official form, although the comptroller does provide a form for the convenience of property owners. (You can access the protest form at www.cutmytaxes.com .)

House Bill 201 - helpful information

House Bill 201 is the industry jargon for a property owner's option to request information the appraisal district will use at the hearing, and to receive a copy 14 days before the hearing. The name House Bill 201 is derived from the bill used to enact the law. The details for House Bill 201 are located in sections 41.461 and 41.67d of the Texas Property Tax Code. When filing a protest, the property owner should additionally request in writing that the appraisal district provide a copy of any information the appraisal district plans to introduce at the hearing. The appraisal district will typically require the property owner to come to the appraisal district office to pick up the information and charge a nominal fee, typically $0.10 per page. While the cost for House Bill 201 requests are quite low (typically $0.50 to $2.00 per property for residential and commercial) the information is invaluable in preparing for the hearing. In addition, filing a House Bill 201 request is important because it limits the information the appraisal district can present at the hearing to what was provided to the property owner two weeks before the hearing.

Preparing for the Hearing

Start by reviewing the appraisal district's information for your property for accuracy. If the appraisal district overstates either the quality or quantity of improvements, this will justify a deduction. The next step is to review the information on market value and unequal appraisal provided by the appraisal district in the House Bill 201 package. If the subject property is an income property, review the appraisal district's income analysis versus your actual income and expense statements. Consider the following areas as opportunities to rebut the appraisal district's analysis:

· Gross potential income
· Vacancy rate
· Total effective gross income, including other income
· Operating expenses
· Amount of replacement reserves
· Net operating income
· Capitalization rate
· Final market value

Many property owners and consultants start with the actual income and expense data, and use one or two of the assumptions provided by the appraisal district. However, they primarily utilize information from the actual income and expenses in preparing their own income analysis and estimate of market value for the subject property.

When comparable sales are the primary issue in determining market value, start by reviewing the comparable sales data provided by the appraisal district versus the assessed value for your property. Convert the sales prices from the appraisal district to either a per square foot or per unit basis. Then compare the sales to the per square foot or per unit assessment for your property. Sales can be helpful during the hearing.

The cost approach is not typically used in the property tax hearings except for brand new or relatively new properties. If your property is new, the appraisal district will probably want to review the cost information and you probably won't want to show it to them. In many cases, the actual cost of a property is higher than the estimate provided by the appraisal district. If this is the case, you will likely want to appeal on unequal appraisal instead of on market value. No matter how good your argument or how passionately it is expressed, the appraisal district staff and Appraisal Review Board (ARB) members tend to believe that cost equals value for new properties.

Deferred Maintenance and Functional Obsolescence

Another issue that is important for the market value appeal, and to some extent for a unequal appraisal appeal, is information on deferred maintenance and functional obsolescence. Deferred maintenance could include items such as:

· rotten wood
· peeling paint
· roof replacement
· substantial repair
· landscaping updating and other similar items

Most appraisal districts give minimal consideration to requests for adjustments based on deferred maintenance, unless the property owner provides repair costs from independent contractors. There are some exceptions where a cooperative informal appraiser or sympathetic ARB will take an owner's estimate of deferred maintenance and make adjustments based on those costs. Most appraisers and ARB members are much more inclined to make adjustments if third-party cost estimates are provided. In addition, the appraisers and many ARB members are inclined to only deduct a portion of the total cost using the argument, "we've been giving a replacement reserve allowance for this item for the past years and it'd be double-dipping to deduct the whole value off it in the current year." While this is an incorrect appraisal argument, it does tend to be the practice at many appraisal districts. The reality is, the cost of curing deferred maintenance is deducted from the offer by a prospective buyer.

Examples of functional obsolescence would be a three-bedroom apartment unit that only has one bathroom, or a two-bedroom apartment that does not have washer/dryer connections in an area where those connections are common. Another example would be an apartment that has a window air conditioner in an area where central HVAC is typical and expected.

Unequal appraisal analysis

The Texas Property Tax Code, section 41.43(b)(3), provides for appraising or appealing on unequal appraisal including ratio studies and "a reasonable number of comparable properties appropriately adjusted." Virtually all unequal appraisal appeals involve a reasonable number of comparables that are appropriately adjusted. Comparables are similar properties.

This is primarily because of the difficulty and cost of performing a ratio study. Historically, the position of many appraisal districts was that the property owner needed to get a fee appraisal for each comparable property and compare the market value estimated by the appraiser to the assessed value. The cost of getting multiple appraisals made this process financially impractical. Compiling a reasonable number of comparables appropriately adjusted is simple and straightforward. The first step is to choose a reasonable number of comparables. Usually four to five comparables is the typical number used at a property tax hearing, but in some cases, property owners choose ten to thirty. In some cases, there may only be one to four comparable properties that merit consideration. Most unequal appraisal presentations include three to ten comparables. The number of reasonable comparables depends on the location, type, size and age of the property. For example, there would be fewer five-year-old bowling alleys in the northern part of Harris County compared to recently built apartment complexes.

After choosing a reasonable number of comparables, array them in a table format, including fields of data such as account number, net rentable area, year built, street address, assessed value and assessed value per square foot.

The next step is to determine whether or not to make appropriate adjustments. For the administrative hearing, if you have truly comparable properties, most boards (appraisal review board or ARB) won't be concerned with you not making adjustments. If you make adjustments, those would typically be based on factors such as differences in size and age compared to the subject property.

You should also review the information in the appraisal district's House Bill 201 packet on an unequal appraisal. In many cases, the appraisal districts unequal appraisal analysis will document a reduction in your assessed value! If the appraisal districts unequal appraisal analysis documents a reduction, either the informal appraiser or the ARB should make the adjustment in assessed value for you. Having the opportunity to get an assessed value reduced automatically based on the appraisal districts unequal appraisal analysis is one of the reasons to appeal every property every year.

Completing Hearing Preparation

After reviewing the appraisal district's information on your property, the House Bill 201 package, and your market value and unequal appraisal analyses, determine the strengths and weaknesses of each approach and decide which basis of appeal provides the best opportunity for a meaningful reduction. Although appeals on unequal appraisal have clearly been the law of the land since 2003, some appraisal districts and review boards have chosen to disregard the option for unequal appraisal put forth by the Texas Legislature. Although there is litigation underway which should resolve this issue within the next year, it would be prudent to visit someone who is knowledgeable in local property tax appeals to determine whether the county appraisal district and ARB in your area are considering appeals on unequal appraisal.

Set Negotiating Perimeters

After reviewing the information, it is important to set the highest level of assessed value you will accept at the informal hearing because after you accept an assessed value, the appeal process will be complete for the year and you will not be able to appeal further.

Administrative Hearing Process

The two steps to the administrative hearing process are the informal hearing and the appraisal review board hearing.

The Informal Hearing

The following procedure and rules are typical at the informal hearing:

· Meet with an appraiser representing the appraisal district. You should be polite and prepared at this meeting. While many property owners are frustrated and angry at the high level of real estate taxes, the appraisal district appraiser does not control the tax rate set by various entities nor the policy regarding property taxes in the area or the state. The appraisal district appraiser is trying to execute his job in a professional manner and appreciates it when property owners work with him on that basis.
· Provide the appraiser information on your property and he will review that information and information he has available.
· The appraiser will likely make an offer to settle the assessed value of your property fairly quickly. You can either accept the value or negotiate further. Either way, you should know within ten to twenty minutes whether the appraiser will offer an acceptable value. If the value is acceptable, conclude the negotiation by agreeing to the value for the current year. If the value offered is not acceptable, ask to go forward with an ARB hearing.

Appraisal Review Board Hearing (ARB)

The ARB hearing panel consists of three impartial citizens selected and paid by the appraisal district. The age of most ARB members ranges from fifty to eighty. There is an unfortunate bias in the system since the ARB members are selected and paid by the appraisal district, but most ARB members are reasonable people who want to make appropriate decisions.

Like the appraisal district appraiser, the ARB does not set tax rates or tax policy. The members are also not responsible for the effectiveness of local government. It is unlikely to help your case if you complain to the ARB members about either the high level of property taxes or the poor quality of some aspect of local government.

The ARB will expect you to make your presentation in about three to ten minutes. They will typically wait patiently while you make your presentation and may have questions after you conclude. An appraiser from the appraisal district, who may or may not be the same person who attended the informal hearing, will represent the appraisal district at the ARB hearing. The appraiser will comment on the evidence you presented and will often present other information the appraisal district has available. If you requested a House Bill 201 package for your property, it substantially limits the evidence the appraisal district appraiser can offer at the hearing. The ARB members may have questions after the appraisers presentation. Then the property owner will be given a final opportunity to rebut evidence presented by the appraisal district appraiser and quickly summarize the evidence. The ARB members strongly prefer you not repeat your entire presentation at this point.

After hearing the evidence, the ARB members will confer and make a decision. This decision is not subject to negotiation and they will not revise the decision if further evidence is presented. When this decision is announced, the hearing is effectively over. The ARB will send a letter two to four weeks later summarizing their decision and notifying the owner of a 45 day limitation from the date receipt of the ARB decision to either request binding arbitration or file a judicial appeal.

Binding Arbitration or Judicial Appeal

Beginning September 2005, owners of properties with an assessed value of $1 million or less may file a request for binding arbitration. The owner must file with the appraisal district no more than 45 days after receipt of the notice of the ARB's decision. The binding arbitration option is interesting because it includes a loser pays provision. The appraisal district pays for the arbitrator's fee if the final value is closer to the owner's opinion of value, and the owner pays for the binding arbitration if the final decision is closer to the appraisal district's opinion of value. Binding arbitration was passed to provide an alternative to judicial appeals, which can be expensive to prosecute.

Many owners pursue judicial appeals to further reduce property taxes. In 2005, O'Connor & Associates filed over 1,200 judicial appeals on behalf of property owners in the state of Texas. The judicial appeals can be expensive if the property owner and attorney don't understand the process and have a plan in place to minimize the cost of legal and expert witness fees. Judicial appeals are typically successful. However, success requires cooperation from the property owner, such as providing responses to questions, documents and a deposition if requested. The judicial appeal is meaningful as an option to minimize property taxes since it reduces the base value. This is important because the appraisal district and ARB consider the base value in the subsequent year when setting the administrative hearing value.

Conclusion

Property owners can generate substantial reductions in property taxes by appealing annually. Consider appeals on both market value and unequal appraisal and obtain the House Bill 201 information when preparing for the appeal hearing. Property owners should consider all three levels of appeal: informal hearing, ARB hearing and judicial appeal/binding arbitration. While the ARB hearing and judicial appeal/binding arbitration can be an intimidating process, each is straightforward once you understand the mechanics.

Florida Home

How to Put Your Florida Home Insurance Out to Bid

The Florida home insurance market is still fragmented and confusing to consumers. Despite the legislation of the past two years, it is still difficult to find affordable Florida home insurance - particularly for homes that are close to the coast or those that are older. After the exodus of most national insurance companies, Florida consumers are still faced with a limited number of newer, smaller, Florida based companies to protect their most significant investment.

With all of the uncertainty in this market, what can you do to create competition for your Florida home insurance and save the most money?

For starters, you need to understand that while there are over 450 companies licensed to write homeowners insurance in Florida, only around 40 are actually writing any new business at this time. And of those 40, only a portion of those companies are willing to cover your home. Why? Because each company establishes underwriting guidelines for the type of homes they want to insure. The two most significant factors that companies use to determine whether they want to insure your home is its age and its distance from the Florida coast.

Let's say that there are 25 companies of the 40 out there right now who are willing to cover your Florida home. The best way for you to create the most competition and to get the lowest cost home insurance would be to get a quote from each and every one of them. So how do you do that?

For starters each insurance company offers their insurance through agents that represent them. This results in a fragmented market where consumers like you run a high risk of not getting to all the companies that want to cover your Florida home due to the following:

Companies do not make their insurance available to each and every agent.

Agents do not want to offer insurance from all companies.

Some companies have captive agents that are only allowed to write coverage exclusively for their company.

Some companies sell directly to the public and bypass the agent network completely.

What does all of this mean to you?

If you shop for Florida home insurance by only contacting one insurance agent, you are guaranteed to miss out on many of the companies who want to cover your home. If you only obtain quotes from one agent, you will be limiting the competition for your Florida home insurance business and your chances of overpaying on homeowners insurance will increase dramatically.

You could rely on quote generator websites that ask you to provide sensitive, personal information. You will find some companies using this method, but you will not get to all the companies that want to cover your home. And you many get tons of unwanted phone calls and emails from multiple agents that are all representing the same company.

So what's the best way for you to get quotes from all of the Florida home insurance companies who want to cover your home?

Follow these steps to create the most competition for your Florida homeowners insurance business and you could save thousands:

Utilize Florida insurance agents that are independent - not captive agents that only represent one company.

Work with more than one independent insurance agent. If the first agent doesn't carry some of the companies that want to cover your home, the second agent just might.

Use independent agents that represent a large number of Florida homeowners insurance companies. An agent that has only four companies is too small for you. Look for agents that represent at least 10 companies or more that are actively writing new business.

Last but not least, don't ignore the Florida home insurance companies that sell directly to the public through their own agency. Get quotes from these companies directly either by phone or through their website.

These steps will dramatically increase your chances of getting to all of the companies who want to cover your Florida home. Each additional company that you can get to quote your home results in more competition and can save you thousands on homeowners insurance in Florida.

Foreclosure Casino

100% Free Foreclosure Listings Are Available

One hundred percent free foreclosure listings are available in certain places if you look hard enough. What you will likely find if you are looking for foreclosed properties is that the state of Nevada currently has the highest percentage of foreclosures in the nation. Of course you may only find that if you are interested in deeper economic questions and the variables that caused the foreclosure crisis within many states, counties and municipalities.

Hector Milla Editor of the "Free Home Foreclosure Listings" website -- http://www.FreeHomeForeclosureListings.net -- pointed out;

“…  As you can surmise by looking at some of the free listings. Many of the foreclosures that happened in Clark County, Nevada were probably caused by a downturn in the casino world. The gambling empire's struggles were not just felt by giants like Steve Wynn and Sheldon Adelson they were felt by everyone who worked in the casinos-from the dancers to the card dealers to the janitors …”

Because of the high cost of Las Vegas real estate along with the general high costs involved with simply living there, you tend to see some very prices within the two hundred and three hundred thousand dollar price range. It was because of prices like these in this tough housing market that many of these houses ended up on the free foreclosure list.

The reason some of these houses in Vegas went into foreclosure was because they happen to be right near the strip where property taxes and uptake costs tend to skyrocket. Many workers who were fairly well paid as members of many different unions got laid off and they couldn't maintain the house payments. That is how these homes ended up on the free foreclosure list.

“… Within many of these free search engines you will be able to locate school information about academic institutions near these foreclosed homes. This is of course good if you are looking to buy a home and you happen to have children. Believe it or not within these free search engine results for foreclosed properties you can also run a credit check upon yourself. This is important so you don't end up in the same situation as the person who had the home foreclosed upon them …” H.Milla added.

Life - is unpredictable. Things can go very far when suddenly you find yourself in a financial crisis that requires immediate cash.

The lender agrees to hold the check dated for a period of time - usually two weeks, but maybe even a month - in which the loan will be paid. Then pick up the check in person and pay the lender the face value, or the creditor may simply deposit the refund check in your checking account.

The paperwork for payday loans is very limited. The store payday loan will have copies of your payslips for the most recent income verification. Also need a photo ID - such as your state issued driver's license. Some lenders may ask some personal references.

Buying a Home for Investment: Rental Suites

Due to the instability of the economy at present, there are many home buyers looking for an opportunity to buy a house that can help them pay for their mortgage. These buyers are looking for types of homes which may be in need of renovations and include more space than you need yourself so that you can rent out a room or a suite. Renting out part of your new home can be a great way to help pay for your mortgage and renovations.

Look for a house that lends itself well to creating a suite in it; an outside entrance is always preferred for a rental suite when possible. Having a separate entrance for your tenant will avoid many possible problems.

If your goal is to buy a home that you can build a rental suite in, make sure before you buy that you can legally build a suite in it so that you can avoid potential zoning problems later on. Ideally, you should make sure that your Realtor knows that you want to build a suite in your new home so that they can assist you in finding a suitable house for your project.

Make the rental area as large as possible while still allowing the rest of the home to have ample space for you to live in; a small suite will net you a small amount of rent to help pay your mortgage while a larger suite will allow you to receive more rent for the rental of your suite.

Make sure that when you renovate your rental suite that you don’t skimp on the important areas of it; while a rental suite doesn’t require fancy fixtures but it does require a decent kitchen to cook in, an adequate bathroom, and a decently sized bedroom at the very least.

If your rental suite is underneath your living space, you will likely want to invest a little extra into sound buffering between the floors so that your tenant can talk or watch television downstairs without bothering you and likewise will not be bothered by you walking around in your house with your shoes on.

Remember that the nicer that you make your rental suite, the more likely it is that your tenant will enjoy living there; having a long term renter saves you from having to search for tenants as often to keep your rental income steady. Don’t skimp on doing reference checks on any applicants when potential renters apply either; it will pay off in the long run if you’re sure about who you’re renting out part of your home to.

California Red Week

A Wine Lover's Weekly Guide To $10 Wines - A Mondavi (California) Cabernet Sauvignon

This article reviews an inexpensive California wine from the recently deceased wine giant Robert Mondavi who to a large extent put California on the international wine map. If you intend to become a wine professional you should consider the Robert Mondavi Institute (RMI) for Wine and Food Science at the University of California, Davis. We are too old for that sort of thing but not too old to enjoy his wine, at least in this price range. One day we may taste an example of his $100 Cabernet Sauvignons, but we won't be reporting on it in this column. For now, let's see how the company's $10 wine does. By the way, you may be able to find this wine in the United States for considerably less than $10.

OUR WINE REVIEW POLICY All wines that we taste and review are purchased at the full retail price.

Wine Reviewed Robert Mondavi Woodbridge Cabernet Sauvignon, California, 2007 13.5% alcohol about $10

Let's start by quoting the marketing materials. Tasting Note: Deep garnet red; wild red berry and cassis aroma; fresh fruit flavor, balanced wine, soft tannins, good quality, easy drinking. Serving Suggestion: Serve with grilled meats. And now for my reactions.

The first meal consisted of slow-cooked beef ribs and potatoes with fresh red pepper slices. First I had a few sips to get me started. The wine was round and so were the tannins. I tasted dark fruits, in particular black cherries. This Cab was fairly long showing a good acidic balance. In the presence of the meat this wine became even rounder. It enveloped the potatoes. The red pepper rendered the wine more acidic, but not unpleasantly so. Some Harissa (a Turkish hot pepper sauce) intensified the Cabernet Sauvignon's flavors; dark became darker and I don't mean that negatively.

As you may be aware, I enjoy trying somewhat unusual wine and food pairing combinations. I had every intention of trying this wine with a chicken dish. And in this case, I had permission from headquarters. The back label starts with the following sentence: "Our Cabernet Sauvignon's spicy dark fruit character, with a velvety smooth finish, is delicious with grilled or roasted meats, - even chicken!" I tasted this wine with chicken in a soy and onion sauce accompanied by roasted eggplant doused with garlic, and French fries in garlic and rosemary. The wine was tannic. I tasted oak. The black cherry and plum flavors were powerful and yet did not destroy the chicken. This liquid delight was actually chewy. The oily eggplant (I'm not complaining) rendered the wine more acidic but the combination worked well. But let's be fair, the wine and chicken didn't mesh.

My final food pairing involved beef stew, carrots, and potatoes. There was great balance of acidity, fruits, and tannins. I got some oak with dark fruits, mostly black cherries and plums. The wine was nice and long, meaty and chewy.

I ended the bottle with two local cheeses. In the presence of a nutty, mild Provolone the Cabernet Sauvignon retained most of its characteristics but didn't meld well with the cheese. A marbled, yellow and orange Cheddar cheese flattened the wine.

Final verdict. This Cabernet Sauvignon is definitely a winner with hearty beef dishes. I'd buy it again and again. And I'd like to do a vertical tasting, comparing Mondavi Cabs up the line.

Real Estate Income Property Investing in Canada

Real estate is one of the oldest forms of investing known to man. It is easy, once you know how to invest in real estate. As an investor, you’ll purchase a number of houses or pieces of land at a very low price. If you develop it properly, then say ten years later you can sell the land for a profit. This means that you will sell it for more than what you initially paid for it.

Real estate investing can be done in any part of the world. The world population is growing and expanding on a continuous basis. This means that now, more than ever, there are people buying land and property. Land prices continue to rise in Canada, and that means that real estate will continue to be one of the best investment opportunities in the country. One website ideal for investors looking for cash flow and also allows for buying and selling cash flow properties is http://www.incomepropertycanada.com

Real estate offers greater profit potential, compared to other forms of investment. Not every piece of land will always turn out to be a winner. Despite the great potential in profit, some cases are high risks. So you will want to be sure to carefully research and study your real estate investments.

One problem that many real estate investors face is lack of liquidity. Liquid assets are those that can be easily converted into cash. This is similar to stocks and bonds. Most real estate investments can take years before you can actually make a profit. So it is not the best decision to tie up all of your assets in real estate investments. Your financial situation will be an indicator as to how much you can wisely invest in properties and real estate.

Many people do not understand the difference between investors and speculators. Speculators buy land with the intentions to make a very quick sale and fast profits. They will not hold land for a long period of time. An investor, looks for long –term profits. They will usually buy only what he can afford to keep for an indefinite period of time.

If you are a new in this field, you will want to refrain from doing any speculation until you become more informed. You will need to devote a considerable amount of time to study and research your property investment prospects. It is also wise to network and consult with others who are doing things, especially specialists.

If you currently own a home, then you’ve already made a very successful investment. Before searching for areas to invest, you will need to consider the condition of your own house. If you plan on selling your home, good landscaping and cleanliness have been known to considerably increase the value of your home.

Buying run-down homes and restoring them for selling or renting purposes can reap profits. The advantages of selling are that you can build up equity. The advantages of renting are that you can build a stream of positive cash flow. But, before you do this, you will need to consider some factors and do the math including a margin of safety.

One of them is that you must know something about the architecture of the home. You need to get an idea of how much it will cost to remodel the house and fix it up. You want to improve the house but not over improve it. You will also need to evaluate the neighborhood of the house. Study the shopping areas, schools, transportation facilities, and people in the neighborhood carefully.

By carefully doing your research when it comes to real estate investing, you will be able to systematically set up steady streams of income.

Including the Outdoors in Home Remodeling

A backyard isn’t the same as it used to be – a place to grill, where kids play ball, or just an extra spot to mow. Now the trend is to make the backyard an outdoor retreat or an extension to the house. The Home Remodelers Group® can help transform your outdoors into a beautiful year round sunroom, a deck for entertaining or even an outdoor kitchen.

As reported in the May 2006 Consumer Reports, designing and furnishing an outdoor room is the second most likely home-remodeling project to do. Specifically, approximately 1.2 million U.S. households will install a fully functional outdoor kitchen, according to a study by the industry research company inquiry.

In 2004, Better Homes and Gardens magazine received survey responses from nearly 60,000 Americans describing home improvement projects and future home-building aspirations. Better Homes and Gardens found that people want indoor/outdoor livability, technological innovations, flexibility for family needs and a kitchen-centric focus. (REMODELING Magazine, September 1, 2005)

Homeowners are seeking ways to make the outdoors a functional part of the living area. To accomplish that, the barriers between outdoors and indoors, such as walls and solid doors, are going away. As cited in “A Simple Way to Increase Outdoor Living Space” at HGPgal.com, for homeowners looking to add to their living space, improve their lifestyle and increase the resale value of their home, the perfect solution is to extend living areas outdoors through the addition of decks, patios, outdoor kitchens and entertainment areas.

"The line between the house and the outdoor space continues to disintegrate," says Julie D. Taylor, author of Outdoor Rooms. "Many designers are using the same, or similar, materials both on the interior and exterior to extend the house to the outdoors. It breaks down the barrier and gives a feeling of a larger house."

Alternatively, instead of thinking of the barriers disintegrating, another solution is effective indoor-outdoor connections. These connections can include French doors opening up onto a porch, or the addition of a window to expose a lovely view. Indoor-outdoor connections can be as simple as adding a mudroom between the garage and the home, or more complex, such as an outdoor entertainment area placed just outside the doors of a home's main gathering space. Adding visual connections to the outdoors, such as through the addition of glass doors or enlarging a window, adds value to your home by making its interior space appear larger than it actually is. (“Connect Inside of Your House with the Beauty Outdoors,” Ann Robinson, Deseret News, April 2005)

To create the outdoor living space that you want, start by determining your budget and your desires.

Consumer Reports provides some tips about what to consider for building room extensions or outdoor entertainment areas:

* Determine how you will use your space

* Consider location

* Be sure to weatherproof

* Incorporate lighting and heat

* Consider safety

No matter what extension you decide to make, it will undoubtedly add value to your home. As cited by Ann Robinson in Deseret News, “Exterior living space adds usable square footage to your home without costing you the $120-plus per square foot you'd spend for the construction of an addition.”

The Home Remodelers Group® can work with you to determine your indoor-outdoor remodeling desires. We have many gorgous sunroom plans and other renovating features available on our website at www.homeremodelersgroup.com. So, if you need a new area to relax and enjoy reading your favorite book, a place to create a new home gym, a place to add a spa to create your own special oasis, or an area for entertaining family and friends, a new sunroom, deck, or outdoor kitchen may be the perfect solution. We can help bring the outdoors in or take your family out in a comfortable and relaxing setting.
